NEW YORK - After the violent deaths of his brothers, the youngest Kennedy, Teddy, lived under constant threat that he too would meet an assassin's bullet. As he put it bluntly, They're going to shoot my ass off the way they shot off Bobby's.

We are learning more about these files, as the FBI has released 2,352 pages from its file on the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

The FBI has posted the file on its hot topics page. If you see new information in the files, please send us an e-mail.

The new file is dominated by investigations of threats against Ted Kennedy, who died Aug. 25 at age 77. "These threats originated from multiple sources, including individuals, anonymous persons, and members of radical groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, 'Minutemen'organizations, and the National Socialist White Peoples Party," the FBI said. "The file also contains threats from individuals angered by Kennedys stance on politics in Northern Ireland and allegations of an alleged Mafia plot to kill President Kennedy and Senators Robert and Edward Kennedy."

Waitress Sandwich —that’s what Teddy called it, when he humped a waitress along with some other important democrat, back there in Massachusetts. I think it was at The Black Dog, but I could be mistaken.

If he was so concerned about being assassinated, he should have just retired from public office and public life. He was a political whore who enjoyed the limelight and milking the taxpayer’s of every last dime they had.

The Minuteman organizations referred to here have no relation to the current Tea Party organizations and the border related Minuteman organization. The Minuteman organizations referred to here were groups in the 50s and 60s that (correctly) thought the government was infiltrated with communists and were generally opposed to the civil rights movement. They were never very numerous and died out in the 70s.

Ted was obviously off his rocker, and I'm not just thinking of his wannabe KGB connect. Robert Kennedy was shot by a palestinian who had nothing to do with "minutemen", and I think his a** was completely unhurt. Guess Teddy's head was full of what Teddy's head was full of.
